 We can start over, whenever we want. It’s a wonderful opportunity that we have.  Taking it for granted will lead anyone down a dark path. I might not always be aware, what good I release in the world.  But I will try to savor the small moments. What else can I do to make it feel like there’s a meaning to all this madness? I don’t imagine, I’m the only one with self-doubt. In fact, I am painfully aware how it infects all of us,  at some point in our lives. I’ve gotten knocked down to size,  yet again. It hurts, more than I can describe. Maybe it is possible to get out on the other side better?  I sure hope I can do the impossible for the millionth time. That is why, this is Day One.

The absolute power of words not spoken, can bring down even the strongest of men. You find the words take hold, despite the silence that accompanies it. He doesn't need to say anything, because you already know. The pain that exudes from his eyes, tells you everything he feels. It is not about right or wrong, or even the way he curls his smile. It is to power of being, the better part of someone when they fall short. When he finds his courage again, you hope that he will extend it to you. To be that light in your world, when everything casts shadows. When you try to give someone, a part of your soul. You know that, you're ready to love again.

My thoughts they wander, like ants crawling across the sand. Migrating to a new place, filling the world up with patterns. They are like a swarm that keeps coming, and refuses to settle down.

Maybe, there's a reason for all the pain. Maybe not? But what I know for sure, is that we can't take it all at once. I tried to be the good person, to give of myself, in the right way. Without hurting any one, or myself. I know I am not perfect, in any way. No one is. Really.  But, I also find it hard to imagine a world where there is less pain.
